This is a perfect example of the kind of stuff that irks me. What does the record company gain from leaving off the question mark? What does Jessica Simpson gain? Does leaving the question mark off really make the cover better?

I don’t think that it does. If there are any graphic designers or marketing professionals out there (hell, I’m a marketing professional!) who disagree, please let me know. I’d love to hear what you have to say.

I’ve become a big fan of the Bumper Sticker application on Facebook. With this application, you can send “stickers” to your friends, and they end up displayed on their profiles. (And thanks to those of you who have already sent me grammar-oriented stickers!)

Of course, since most of them are homemade, they’re often filled with errors. I’ve come to expect that.

And then I saw this one:

Oh, sweet Jesus.

Are we serious here? Are we really, truly serious?

Or is this some kind of elaborate joke? Is the joke that there are so many errors in it, on purpose, that this is the ultimate “gotcha” by the creator?

If it were a joke to those of us in the know, then I would gladly add this sticker to my profile.

For now, though, it’s staying far, far away.

Tell me — do you think that this was done on purpose to joke about people with bad spelling and grammar?

Or do you think that the creator was serious and just made the mistakes without thinking?
